Re: 11/22/2006 Game Thread 12: Pacers at Magic

We out rebound our opponent.

We dont take as much threes as we have in previous games.

This time we lose cause of stupid plays. Why on earth we resorted to a three when we coulda got the got the 2 then hope they miss is beyond me. Tins and Jack killed us near the end and Harrington killed us all game with his jumpers.

Re: 11/22/2006 Game Thread 12: Pacers at Magic

What the hell? Any hate placed on Jack tonight is just ridiculous. Look at Al's stat line and then try and blame anyone else for this particular loss.

At least Al has a good shooting game occasionally. I'm just sick of seeing Jack hoist up a three and rolling my eyes because I know it doesn't have a prayer. Isn't a shooting guard supposed to be able to shoot?

Didn't he make 4 consecutive threes on 4 consecutive possessions in a game last year?

Also, you have to take into account that he still is hurting and is playing well considering he was hit by a car.

Re: 11/22/2006 Game Thread 12: Pacers at Magic

Actually, even though they both missed a couple down the stretch, they also made a couple. Nobody else did anything near the end.

After our time out with a minute and a half to go Tinsley made 2 free throws, JO stole the ball at 58 seconds and Tinsley again went down tried laying it in missed, got the rebound and missed again when he could of relaxed a bit and seen his options.

But it was Al whos mainly to blame for this loss. Smart players know when they are off they should try get others involved and concentrate on other aspects of there game. Not Al he just kept hoisting up his 14-17 feet jumpers.

Honestly I give this game to the Orlando Magic MVP's the Ref's. You wanna know why we lost that game go look and see how many foul shots we got compared to them. Jack was doing pretty well to start and then he started throwing up three's like they had a prayer to begin with. Everytime Al took a shot his form was just so horrible I'd say..."miss" before it even got close to the rim...sure enough it would rim out every time. It was a bad shooting night but I blame the referees in this one we should have won that game.

Re: 11/22/2006 Game Thread 12: Pacers at Magic

I honestly feel bad for Jack. No matter what he does, people find a way to blame him for the damn loss. It's pathetic.

I'm not blaming him solely for the loss (it would help if JO could box out occasionally and Jeff/Jamaal could put the ball in the hoop from 2 inches away), but I'm sick of having a shooting guard who can't shoot. His other abilities are not good enough to offset that.

I think everyone needs to stop pointing fingers at certain players. We all know it's impossible to maintain any sort of unbias accounts since everyone has favorites. It's just one loss and it was on the road in a place where not a lot of teams have won this year. only 3 teams have winning records in the East: Detroit, Orlando, and Cleveland it's not like we just got eliminated from playoff contention. Jack is hurt and playing through it (not making excuses). Al is in a shooting slump a pretty big one but he'll come around. This was a team effort so the loss is on the team not JO, Al, Jack, Danny, etc...I think we'll bounce back at home after thanksgiving against cleveland.
